Naas Roads Policing Unit were waiting for a tow truck when second car came along

Kildare gardai were left astounded recently after seizing a vehicle for no insurance, when a second vehicle also with no insurance pulled alongside them.

Naas Roads Policing Unit had just seized a black car for no insurance and were waiting for a tow truck to arrive.

Shortly afterwards, a silver Honda Civic pulled up approximately 10 feet in front of a marked Roads Policing car, and proceeded to get ready to fuel up.

A quick insurance check on the phone revealed the second vehicle had no insurance either.

The offences committed by the driver included:

  • Learner driver
  • Unaccompanied
  • No L plates
  • No insurance

The Civic was seized, and the driver will now face the consequences of the offences detected.

A garda spokesperson said of the offences: “If you’re driving uninsured, unaccompanied or without the required plates, don’t expect it to go unnoticed - especially when you pull up directly in front of a marked RPU car. #NaasRPU.”
